Effective $l^2$ decoupling for the parabola

We make effective $l^2{L}^p$ decoupling for the parabola in the range $4 < p < 6$. In an appendix joint with Jean Bourgain, we apply the main theorem to prove the conjectural bound for the sixth-order correlation of the integer solutions of the equation $x^2+y^2=m$ in an extremal case. This proves unconditionally a result that was proven by Bombieri and Bourgain under the hypotheses of the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture and the Riemann Hypothesis for $L$-functions of elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}$.
